Newbie question

Post by Gears »

Picking up 02 S tomorrow and thinking about taking it in to Baron for the 69.95 Oil change and "inspection", is that worth it or should I just DIY the oil change? Oh and where do you guys recommend purchasing an oil filter? Thanks for whatever help/advice/opinion you can share!

I would buy the OEM filter at Baron.Tell them your a club member and get 10% off. Probably wouldn't hurt to let them also check over the car for you.Ask them to shoot you a price first.Good luck

I'd have it checked over before I bought it, that way any major repairs can become a negotiating point.

Definitely buy your filter at the dealer, I've had poor results with aftermarket filters.

Oh, and welcome to the madness! :D

Changed user name to Gears was deciding between the two. I'm right off of 435 and 95th. How about you? You know I have seen a Dark Silver MCS in my apartment complex we might be neighbors!

Not neighbors but your not far away. I reside in the Graystone South subdivision, 87th & Rosehill, behind Gomers. I thought I posted on the wrong forum for a moment. I would like to change my name also.

Send a PM to the moderator that's what I did and they were kind enough to change it for me :D
